Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Hearing Wu Yulai's words, Wei Dabao almost fainted. The crime of endangering production, this name is enough to make him die 10 times. He trembled all over and stammered, "This is none of my business. Did Yi Zhonghai ask me to do this?"

Except for Liu Lan and He Yuzhu, everyone else in the kitchen was very confused. Some of them knew Yi Zhonghai, while others didn't know him but had heard of him. They didn't know why Yi Zhonghai did this? After all, he was a fitter, and he had nothing to do with them who cooked. Wu Yulai scratched his head and asked, "You said Yi Zhonghai asked you to do this, why did he ask you to do this?"

As soon as Wu Yulai finished speaking, Gao Jianjun, the head of the security department, walked in with a group of people. Gao Jianjun was a dark-skinned man in his 40s who had retired from the battlefield. He had a unique military temperament. He was always meticulous in his work. In the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, no matter who you were, as long as you made a mistake, Gao Jianjun would take care of it.

Wu Yulai shook hands with Gao Jianjun with a smile. Gao Jianjun asked, "What happened in your kitchen?" Wu Yulai sighed and said, "I didn't discipline my students well, and let some scoundrels ruin the reputation of our kitchen. This guy actually put laxatives in the big pot dishes that our workers eat, and said it was Yi Zhonghai's instruction. Can you help me check it out?"

Gao Jianjun's dark complexion darkened when he heard this. He put his hands behind his back and said, "Putting laxatives into the big pot of food that the workers eat is a typical act of sabotaging production. Xiao Wang, take your men and quickly arrest this guy. We'll take him to the security department for interrogation."

The security officer nearby quickly grabbed Wei Dabao and took away the laxatives that were caught with him. "Director, if this is true, we really can't let Yi Zhonghai go. If Wei Dabao succeeds in drugging him, no one in our kitchen will be able to escape. If so many laxatives are put in, it will be a big deal." Aunt Ma said indignantly.

Seeing the excitement among the people in the kitchen, Wu Yulai smiled and said, "Don't worry, you are my soldiers. I will not let you be bullied in vain. If Yi Zhonghai is the one behind today's incident, I will quit my job as the director and I will not play with Yi Zhonghai."

The people in the kitchen heard their director say this, and then they nodded with a smile. After calming down his subordinates, Wu Yulai slowly went to the security department of the steel mill. The factory director Xiao Jinfeng and the deputy factory director Yang Jianye were already in the security department of the steel mill. When Wu Yulai just walked in, Xiao Jinfeng smiled and waved his hand and said, "Old Wu, come here quickly, let's listen together to see what's going on."

After listening to Gao Jianjun's report, the three people present were stunned. Xiao Jinfeng frowned and said, "You said that guy put drugs in the big pot of rice just for 100 yuan?" Gao Jianjun nodded helplessly. He now felt that Wei Dabao was a bit stupid. It was too easy to be used by others. This crime was very serious.

Yang Jianye frowned, thought for a moment and asked, "Section Chief Gao, I know Yi Zhonghai. He has a very good reputation among ordinary workers. He is close to some neighbors who are struggling in the yard and is raising an old widow. I always feel that it is not right for such a person to hire someone to harm others."

Gao Jianjun frowned and said, "We got this from Wei Dabao. We in the security department are very short of evidence for this matter. Should we continue investigating? I believe that as the investigation goes deeper, we may be able to reveal the final truth."

Yang Jianye shook his head and said to Xiao Jinfeng, "Director Xiao, let's handle this matter with the least impact. After all, if you pull out the carrot, you will bring out the mud. Once your superiors know about it, your future will definitely be affected." Xiao Jinfeng thought about it and felt that Yang Jianye was right. After all, no matter which factory had this kind of thing happen, it would definitely not look good on the officials.

He didn't want to investigate the matter any further, and said to Gao Jianjun, "Just fire this worker, deduct his salary for that month, and kick him out of our Red Star Steel Mill." Gao Jianjun thought about it and asked, "Director Xiao, what about Yi Zhonghai?" Xiao Jinfeng frowned, thought for a while and said, "In addition to Wei Dabao's oral statement, do you have any evidence to prove that Yi Zhonghai is one of the main culprits?"

Gao Jianjun shook his head. The security department really didn't have any evidence. Xiao Jinfeng sighed and said, "Since we don't have any evidence, we can't wrongly accuse our revolutionary comrades. Let's just deal with this matter and implement the punishment quickly. By the way, Lao Yang, go and give Yi Zhonghai a good beating. There is no smoke without fire. Although there is no accurate evidence in this matter, there is no harm in giving Yi Zhonghai a beating."

Yang Jianye nodded and said, "Okay, Director Xiao. I'll go and knock on Yi Zhonghai's door later." Xiao Jinfeng nodded, checked the time and said, "Okay, I still have some things to do. Let Lao Yang take care of things here. I'm leaving now." Looking at Xiao Jinfeng's back as he left, Yang Jianye felt envious.

He knew that our Director Xiao was busy with his future. The gossip was known to everyone that Director Xiao was going to be transferred to another place to be a mayor. That would be a great opportunity to rise to the top overnight. When would Yang Jianye have such a chance? He sighed helplessly and went to the security department's prison with Gao Jianjun.

Wei Dabao was sitting in the prison with a radiant look on his face. When he saw Chief Gao and Deputy Director Yang coming, he quickly stood up, held onto the iron railings and said, "Director Yang, Chief Gao, you have to save me. This is not something I wanted to do today. Yi Zhonghai gave me 100 yuan to do it."

Yang Jianye waved his hand and said, "Okay, you said that Yi Zhonghai gave you 100 yuan to do it, what evidence do you have?" Wei Dabao frowned, thought for a while and said, "He gave me 100 yuan to do it, would I lie to you?"
